After seeing this i don’t think anyone can moan about the VBS sytem at Felixstowe! This is the congestion caused by the in dock and out dock being the same gate and their just being to many trucks! I think they need to sign up to VBS!
Hows this for load restraint while we’re on the subject. I think this is a new system that we used to use over here back in the 1800’s! I can see the rope around the bottom is creating a secure base so what more could go wrong. My thought was what happens when he gets to a bump or a corner???? Good luck i won’t be applying for the position of Load Restrainer thats for sure.
Obviously their overhang laws are a little more lienient than our European ones! By my reckoning there are 10 pick ups on the this little load, and not a lot holding on the back ones apart from a few well used span sets. The Germans would have a fit!!
I know as much as you lot! I have no idea whats going on apart from Cow power seems to be the new horse power!! I think it must be compfier in the cab rather than sitting in the engine bay!
I dont know what this is, but i like the picture! Perhaps she’s the best looking lady driver or perhaps she’s a Scania saleswoman, perhaps in what ever country that is she comes free with the truck!! Any ideas then email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk, think of it as an upmarket Well Boss……….
Not a lot to report from Turkey, while the boss was on holiday. Although this tidy pair of tankers were sat together. Both part of the same firm, but not for the same delivery points you’d hope!
Rich claims he found this by accident, yea ok. You can see it on Google earth, just off Avenue de la Gironde, Grande Synth Estate, Dunkerque. Its in the corner where the D265 meets the A16. According to Google Earth measurements the tank is 61 metres long and 7.50 metres wide. Good spot you old perv!
Good spot today in an Italian port Heading for Greece. Iranian registered 6×4 International with Step-frame trailer. Nice to see a touch of the East, well done NLG! Keep em coming.
I have on-board a new roving reporter. He is based in the Middle-East with a slight lean towards the aviation side of life. He has promised to keep sending me pictures of road based vehicles that he stumbles across when on terra-firma. To start with he has sent this text picture of his latest “truck” having a drink! The other one looks like a fairly new Actros tanker.
